One of the few people that could be considered the "Fifth Beatle" Neil Aspinal died today of lung cancer in New York City. He was 66. Neil met Paul when they were both 12. Later he became road manager for the early Beatles. That's his van in the picture with the Beatles above.Neil has stayed with the Beatles until the end. He briefly served as manager after Brian Epstien died and before Allen Klien entered the picture. He served as one of the top people in Apple, the company the Beatles founded. Up until his death he was still associated with the Beatles, working with the surviving members.
